When I create an iphoto the "buy book" button is disabled... Help!

Hi iamkristin,
Be sure to follow the steps in this article when purchasing a book from iPhoto -
Aperture and iPhoto: How to sign in to place an order
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1049
Specifically -
Verify that your computer is connected to the Internet, then open iPhoto.
From the main iPhoto window, click a project in the Source list. If you are in the Book shelf view, double click a project.
Choose Buy Card, Buy Book, or Buy Calendar at the bottom of the screen.
Enter the quantity and select Check Out.
Enter your Apple ID, which can be the same as your email address, but doesn't have to be.
Tip: You can use your iCloud email address and password anywhere an Apple ID is required.
If your Apple ID is an email address, be sure to enter the complete address, such as "[email protected]" Click here for more information on your Apple ID accounts.
Enter your password, click Sign In, and continue to place your order.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,
Brett L

I am very new to Macs and iPhoto so this may be an idiot's question, but I have just created my first photo book and want to buy it, but the "buy book" button is not highlighted and when I click it nothing happens. Is there some step I am missing? Thanks!

I have now recently downloaded 10.0.2 which is confusing in itself, as, as far as I can ascertain that is actually version 11, but I'm not even sure about that.
Version 10.0.2 is the newest version and the successor to GarageBand '11 (version 6.0.5).
The '11 is referring to the iLife '11 suit of multimedia application - the older GarageBand was a part of this bundle.
Have a look at Edgar's graphical enhanced manuals, the explain very detailed how things work and why. You can buy them as iBooks from the iBook store or directly from the page:

TS1135 Can't buy book- the Buy Book button doesn't appear to work. Any solutions?

Book has been created and previewed, but the Buy Book button is not working. How can I actually BUY the darned book?????

Are you using iPhoto 9.6?
Check, if you are connected to the correct Apple Print Products Store:
iPhoto Preferences > Advanced > Print Products Store
The country in this setting needs to be the same as the country of your billing address and delivery address, also your AppleID and Credit Card.
If your country settings are correct, check the setting for your AppleID and enable "Express Checkout" for your Apple ID directly at the Apple Store. You can do this right from the top of this web page.
Look at the black title bar at the top of this page. There is a Store menu to the left. Click it to open the page of the Apple Store. On the next page click the head icon to the left of the shopping cart to open the settings for your account. There you can enable the Express Checkout settings at the link "Update Express Checkout Settings".
Edit and reenter all your billing address and delivery address details on this page.

Pressing the "Buy Book" button does nothing

I completed a photobook last night and when I pressed the "Buy Book" nothing happened. I checked to make sure I wasn't missing any updates, restarted and tried again. I have since tried to order a greeting card with the same result. Nothing happens when I press the button. I even reinstalled iLife 08 to make sure there wasn't something funny with the install. Still the same result. I have ordered through (Kodak) the buttons in iPhoto previously with no problem, but not since I upgraded to iPhoto 08. I also realized that I can not print in iPhoto anymore. When I press the print button or the print command through the menu nothing happens. It doesn't error out or ask me to select a printer....nothing. HELP!

AReid:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. First delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder. See of that helps.
If still not working correctly boot into Safe Mode and see if you can get iPhoto to work as intended. If it does not then a reinstall of iPhoto may be warranted along with the reapplication of the 10.4.10 COMBO updater followed by a repair of disk permissions.
If it does work OK in Safe Mode then your account is the culprit. It could be a damaged preference file other than iPhoto's. Here's how to check that out:
Trouble Shooting Preferences
Go to HD/Users/Your_name/Library. Move the Preferences folder (in its entirety) to the Desktop and make a second copy of it so you have Copy A and B. Now try the the process again and determine if problem is fixed.
If the problem IS fixed, then go to the new Prefs folder that the OS will have created and open it up.
Open Copy B on the Desktop and select all of the items inside. Drag them into the open new library folder. When the Copy window comes up check the Apply to All check box and then click on the Don't Replace button as seen here. That will keep the new files created and bring back all of the others.
If the problem is NOT fixed, trash the new Prefs folder and move the intact Copy A folder back to the Library folder .
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

I'm trying to buy a book. The book is made in I-Photo and when I push buy book button it starts to process and than says-- There was a problem communcating wit the apple store " help"

I'm trying to buy a book I made in I-photo. I have made a 20 page book in I-photo and when I push the "buy book" button it starts to process and then pops up a sign that say'es There was a problem commucating with the apple store. Please try again. Help

Are you buying from the correct Print Products Store? If you are using the wrong store, your AppleID may not be valid.
Is the Print Products Store set correctly in iPhoto Preferences > Advanced? It should be set to the same country as your billing address and delivery address, and match the settings of the Apple ID you are using.
And you are using iPhoto '09 or '11, right? you can no longer buy books from earlier versions.
When you reenter your settings as LarryHN described, don't forget to enable Express Checkout. It is required.

IPhoto project will not upload even in safe mode when trying to buy book, any suggestions on how to complete the "BUY BOOK" process. Christmas gift, really need to get this done, have worked MANY hours on putting it together. Please help!

Make a temporary, backup copy of your library if you don't already have one (Control-click on the library and select Duplicate from the contextual menu) and apply the fix below:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #1, followed by #3 and then #4 as needed.
After each run thru the repair process see if you can create a PDF file of the book as described in this Apple Document: iPhoto '11: Preview a book, card, or calendar before you order or print it. If you can try ordering the book. If you can't finish trying all of the otpions and then boot into Safe mode and try there.

IPhoto wont let me purchase. The 'buy book' icon is not clickable.

I made an awesome calendar and album and iPhoto for Xmas which I must purchase ASAP and it wont let me purchase. The 'buy book' icon is not clickable. What do I do and how can I buy my items?

Sorry IGrebe... you'll just have to check it AGAIN!!!
I just spent ANOTHER 7 hours on this thing... in the end it was a single full-page photo that SHOULD have had a solid colored background checked IN THE "BACKGROUND" LIST, but instead it had the palm-tree grey background checked (even though that makes more sense logically to me...) and it stopped everything cold. SO WHAT I NEEDED WAS A SOLID COLOR, even though the lay-out for a single picture shows a grey background...
Let's face it, Apple has some work to do--but in the meantime, so do the users. I had a 28 page book ready a month ago and couldn't get it to work...called Apple Support but that wasn't much use... redid the whole thing with the internet suggestion to put the full-page pictures in LAST but in the end, had to wait to get back at it--redid it a third time --so in all this "quick album" took about 16 hours!! I tried all the on-line suggestions and finally it was changing everything in my full-page background pictures as suggested and checking and re-checking, changing and re-changing... bummer for IGrebe who has 40 pages... it's rather like looking for a needle in a haystack. I felt exactly the way you did... I'd presented the way I wanted it and didn't want to change it.... but I had to be willing to rethink everything, spend hours to make this "simple program" function the way it says it should, and go to bed at 5 a.m. after finally getting this rotten apple to work!
Oh, and when I found the problem, I went back and changed my other pages back to original form ONE AT A TIME to make sure I could still order the book. This works if you're like me and have already 2 or 3 copies of your book so you can use one as a reference. A good memory would solve that issue, but who remembers at 4 in the morning?
Good luck!

I can't order cards from iphoto - the "buy" button is inactive...

I've created a christmas card that I want to order in iphoto v 9.6, but I'm not able to press the "Buy Card"-button....
What to do?

Reboot and try again.
If that doesn't help as a test launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Import some photos, create a test calendar and test to see if the same problem persists. Does it?
If it doesn't then your library is the culprit and needs to be repaired. Do the following:
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down to open the First Aid window. Be sure to follow the circled recommendation in the screenshot.
2 - run Option #4, Rebuild Database.

Are you running modified software on your phone? This error seems to be common if the firmware has been modified and you're trying to restore the phone again.

When trying to open iPhoto the computer says: 'The photo library needs to be upgraded to work with this version of iPhoto.' So I click 'upgrade' Then it says: 'You can't open your current photo library using this version of iPhoto.' Etcetera...

Is your Apple Intel-based, poppelmacbook? If not, you should consider treating yourself to a new Mac. Last December I gave up my old because it just could not update...anything because it was not Intel-based. Updating everything on this OS to 10.9 has been confusing for me, but I just could not work with that old Mac because the updates were too smart? for my 10.6. It is upstairs now...for visiting family: games, garage band, etc.--things I never did use. Apple refurbished and purchase the extended warranty. Apple loyalist since late 1980's.

I have a Nikon S6300 and when I import into iPhoto the photos don't show up in events or photos only in recent imports

I just purchased a Nikon S6300 camera and when I import into iPhoto the photos don't show up in either photos or events only in recent imports.
I have Snow Leopard on my MacMini.

Control-click one of the photos under the Recent import and select "Show Event" in the contextual menu. Or you can use the View ➙ Sort Events menu in the Events mode to reset the sort order so the new import will be either at the top or bottom of the list.

When manually creating delivery notes, the Actual GI time ?

Hello,
When manually creating delivery notes, the Actual GI time (used for pricing determination) is set to the document creation time (CPU time) but expressed in the UserId's local time zone.

Hello Ram
Please help me out to solve this issue

Creation time (CPU time) but expressed in the UserId's local time zone.
The correct Actual GI time should be the CPU time in CST time zone, independant of the user.
The Delivery doc. was created on 04/20/2011 at 11:11:32 UserId's local time zone (CET).
The Actual GI time was set per default to 11:12 based on CET CPU time the expected time is 04:12 CST

Sounds like we have a similar problem. Four days ago I was playing music through a wireless Bose speaker via bluetooth and everything was fine. Then I was texting while listening and got 2 texts about the same time as I was typing one and my phone went black. I pushed the home button and it worked, went into my texts and all were there. However ever since then the time isn't right, so it can't keep time no matter what I do. The bluetooth works only at times, the wifi keeps jumping on and off, sometimes my data won't work and the other day I couldn't even turn it off, so had to wait until it died. The battery life display at that moment wasn't correct either. Took to Verizon, they couldn't help. Suggested a factory reset, which I did last night and still the same issues! One day I couldn't even text my husband on his iPhone. Just wouldn't work at all. Did everything suggest and still not good. Seems like after stalking these pages today a lot of people are having this problem in Dec/Jan and of course also I'm 3 weeks out of my 1 year warranty and so were many others, by days. Very strange, and all on the 5C. What did you do? Is it working now?
